In this seven-minute podcast, you’ll hear about some new stats that show the growth of podcasting, at least in the U.S. I also share some blog posts I’ve come across this week about the “myth” of nonverbal communications.

Donna,
I'm a new listener and enjoyed your podcast. Yes I agree with you - the podcast host can express himself/herself well by just controlling the speed, tone, etc. of voice - and you do it well.
I like your cast and try to do some catch up to the 83 podcasts I missed.
